Share the useful media from a search
Put a relevant image or document in the conversation where it can help.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send media
Send a media message to a whatsapp number. note: the media will be delivered to the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Finding and sharing the right supporting media can add several manual steps after a search.
- Connect a search request to relevant supplied media.
- Send media using the WhatsApp media action.
- Keep the supporting item close to the conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Algolia and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to send the media URL supplied in the webhook when it matches the search context and recipient.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one supported media file and a recipient who has texted your WhatsApp number first.
Questions about this workflow
Does this upload media to WhatsApp first?
The listed send media action sends media to a WhatsApp number. Upload media is a separate action, and this workflow does not assume it is available as part of the same run.
What file limits apply?
The listed action details provide limits for upload media, but not send media. Use a supported media URL and validate it in a real test.
